Pizzeria D’Buzza is famous mostly for its three week reservation wait list. However, it’s not so incredible if you consider there are only about 12 tables and half of the guests are walk ins. But the real important question is: is it worth it? Yep. I think so. Luckily my friend was taking me out for my birthday and reserved 3 weeks in advance.
They don’t do anything necessarily incredible here – just good, fresh ingredients, cooked properly. They let the flavors speak for themselves and so don’t need to mask anything with over-seasoning. Some great information and detailed menu ingredients are available at the official website.
Buzza’s Salad
We started with Buzza’s Salad, an excellent assortment of slightly bitter greens lightly seasoned with olive oil, accompanied by fresh baked bread. I’m a huge fan of this salad and bread combination. Win. Also the generous mozzarella portions were wonderful.
Quattro Funghi – Mozzarella, 4 Kinds of Mushroom, White Truffle Oil
This pizza was as good as the ingredients sound. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and just let the flavors speak for themselves. The mushrooms were tasty, not overpowering, and the truffle oil was a perfect complement. Overall, very amazing.
Service
Service was great. My server spoke perfect English and Korean and was attentive. When asked for a refill on condiments he brought out a large portion, and had some wet napkins in his pocket for quick delivery when we requested.
My one complaint is that this place doesn’t have a wine list, and serves their house wine in very unsexy little water cups. Seriously? What kind of restaurants gets every part of their business right and then jacks up on one of the most profitable portions. I suppose this is to keep turnover high and keep the drinking loungers out, but why not just expand to another location and get some more tables? Some business models I’ll never understand. On the upside, the house wine was quite nice and got my thick head spinning; it must have been at least 14.5% alchy.
